Lexus LFA vs. Ferrari 599 GTO

[DASHOCKER]

Top Speed run of these two exotics.. Enjoy!

[TK-421]

Two of the greatest sounding cars on the road. But no question about it - I would take the GTO.

lol at LFA vs GTO. The GTO would take a dump on the LFA. The LFA is cute but it's more fair to compare it to a GTR. Let me watch. . .

There's only one choice:


GTO

We've had this exact video before, it's not fare to compare the LFA to the GTO, it should be compared to the regular 599. Maybe the LFA Nuremburg Edition could be compared to the GTO?

[Los Angeles]

The LFA is probably a blast to drive but it's just TOOO damn ugly.

I have no idea how Lexus botched such a terrible design together.

They really need to get some new designers on board, FAST.

[esqu1re]

I'll take the LF-A. That sound...

I agree to an extent. The front and rear are ugly, but I think it has a sexy side profile.

Not sure what take a dump means but the LFA nurgburgring edition which would be more appropriately compared here as the 599 GTO is not the standard 599 would take a dump on that ferrari on one of the toughest tracks in the world.

They both suck balls... I ran my car on that same strip and hit 196mph with a blistered rear tire (which I didnt know about at the time)

But im kidding that they suck balls.... went for a ride in a white 599 gto on that same strip.. it was awsome.... the LFA was there too but he wasnt allowed to take passangers as it was Lexus themselves that brought the car down. The LFA sounds insane compared to the others.

TOP SPEED TEST the Ferrari was over 15mph faster. Take a dump on it was another way of saying the Ferrari was far superior in this test. This wasn't a track test, anyway.

The day that a top speed test means anything to anyone is the day I am not into cars anymore. By that logic an uncapped M5 can do 204 MPH, is it by default a much better car than these two? A Veyron can do 260 MPH but will anyone drive over 160, no... these top speed comparison tests are absurd.

I drive over 160mph quite frequently.... so how can you say they are absurd?

Also it sounds like you are saying that there is no point in buying a supercar or any car that goes over 160mph

Curious where u drive like that, track maybe or the actual streets?

160 MPH is a good stopping point unless you are tracking a car, even on the autobahn going above that speed is rather difficult these days. Oh, yeah and the Veyron's top speed, it's only been reached in one location on Earth

what? It's a definite benchmark in the performance world.

Maybe but can we say that top speed alone is a deciding factor in a better car? Absolutely not, because then a BMW M5 would be a better car than both of these (hell it's even heavier than both of these, has 4 doors and is still faster).

For performance cars: 1/4 mile times, 60-130 times, slalom, skidpad number and times around different tracks such as the ring are much more relevant than something like top speed. I think people look at the wrong things many times and get way too excited that a Veyron does 260 MPH when their prospective owners will probably never touch over 160 in those cars. It's not even practical or logical to compare cars that way... u can't really drive even close to those speeds on the streets and the few moments when the opportunity does exist on a track or a wide open stretch of road is certainly not a reason to buy such a car.

[Sylon]

Alright, excuse my ignorance, but why didn't they shift into 6th on the LFA? Running out of runway?


Still love that GTO.

Most people wont even squeal the tires on a supercar lol, forget about realizing gforce capabilities on turns, stopping power from over 150, downforce and sooo onnn. These cars are applauded for being outrageous. Yes the Veyron doing 260 is an amazing feat and warrants praise from everyone in the car world bc of it. The sheer capabilities of these machines (regardless if anyone on the street realizes them in function or not) is was sets each supercar apart from the others. One may not go 260 in a Veyron Bug but . . . they can and that makes them the boss!

GPower m3 = super car status! Nice car.
